[jamiesmith9255]

I was ok back in the day using Tapi and its been over 2 or so years since i'v modded and i'm vary rusty i want to know if some one can give me a hand on what i'm doing wrong? I foe a basic Sword.

using System;
using Microsoft.Xna.Framework;
using Terraria;
using Terraria.Graphics.Effects;
using Terraria.Graphics.Shaders;
using Terraria.ID;
using Terraria.ModLoader;

namespace YourModName.Items.Weapons //where is located
{
public class YourSword : ModItem
{
public override void SetDefaults()
{
item.name = "Test Blade"; //Sword name
item.damage = 130; //Sword damage
item.melee = true; //if it's melee
item.width = 78; //Sword width
item.height = 78; //Sword height
item.toolTip = "My Best Moded Sword"; //Item Description
item.useTime = 25; //how fast
item.useAnimation = 25;
item.useStyle = 1; //Style is how this item is used, 1 is the style of the sword
item.knockBack = 5; //Sword knockback
item.value = 100;
item.rare = 10;
item.useSound = 1; //1 is the sound of the sword
item.autoReuse = true; //if it's capable of autoswing.
item.useTurn = true;
item.shoot = mod.ProjectileType("YourProjectileName");
item.shootSpeed = 8f; //projectile speed
}
public override void AddRecipes() //How to craft this sword
{
ModRecipe recipe = new ModRecipe(mod);
recipe.AddIngredient(ItemID.DirtBlock, 1); //you need 1 DirtBlock
recipe.AddTile(TileID.WorkBenches); //at work bench
recipe.SetResult(this);
recipe.AddRecipe();

}
}
}

That's all correct. What is the problem? Do you have a mod class and are you autoloading?

k, that's the version string in build.txt.

It should be "version = 0.2" or something like that. No letters, 2 to 4 numbers separated by periods.

I was saying you had an error in the file named build.txt. The version must conform to the format. If you'd like, you can use this generator to generate a simple working mod that you can build off of: http://javid.ddns.net/tModLoader/generator/ModSkeletonGenerator.html

Or, you can use it to see the correct format for the build.txt file

The install instructions for tmodloader tell you to copy in all the files from the zip. Go do that. Also, is that the directory where the Terraria.exe is stored?

Ok so I found out what happen xD my Norton Security blocked it due to it being a new (Being a 3 days or so new) file last time i downloaded it and i must of not seen it or walked away when it did it. So now i have it. That was the last time i downloaded it and now that i did it agin i see what went wrong files that are less the 2 weeks old get blocked unless i unblock them so thanks i would have not known that was the problem.
